    Sighs of relief all around when Matt Lewis finally opened his New Orleans-inspired restaurant in Upper Fremont after years. Turtle bolognese, gator wings, pig ears and shrimp & grits are standouts.

    Turtle bolognese, gator wings, pig ears, and shrimp & grits are standouts. In short, Roux is worth the epic wait. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    Try the Benedict with shrimp instead of ham. And they use cornbread instead of an English muffin-so good!

    We had prawn po boys and a side of bacon and a side of hollandaise and we put that all together. And it was sooo good!

    Delicious! Had a selection of brunch specialities at our table and was all good. Chicken & waffles and pancakes were two favorites.

    Make sure to sit at the bar and taste a cocktail or two from Ian, you won't be disappointed, and the conversation is good too

    Excellent food, excellent service. Be sure to order bread service and dip the bread in everything (forget the butter)

    Underrated restaurant. Some of Seattle's best fried chicken. Also, they were very accommodating to a large group.

    Huevos Rancheros for breakfast are the best. Their New Mexican style green salsa is phenomenal.

    They make a mean cocktail. And a heavily salted meal. I'd say come for the drinks, unless high blood pressure is your kind of thing.

    Great food! A bit of tight seating, but definitely worth the trip!

    Authentic Cajun food, great cocktails and great selection of food without breaking the bank. Service can be slow.

    Pretty good but pricey. If you're going for happy hour, make sure you sit on the bar side. They don't honor happy hour prices on the restaurant side.
